I'm changing from my iMac G5 to a new apple iMac that runs on an intel processor. I have taken ram out of my old iMac G5 and plan on using it in my intel iMac. I'm just wondering if this will work?

Is there a digital camera (not fancy) that I can use as a web cam? Can I get one that also allows me to download pictures onto my USB memory stick?

How do they work as a web cam? Do they come with some kind of a cradles?

The dual core x2 mobile laptop (HP) was just released in my local Office Depot for 800 with dvd writer while the core duo laptop (lenova- IBM) is only 700 with dvd writer. Is the dual core x2 5000+ laptop really that much better than a core duo. Everything else on both laptops are about the same.

Ok, so I have somehow managed to change my keyboard settings. It now thinks I have an American stylie keyboard, when in fact I have a British layout. This is very, very annoying as I can no longer type a British 'pound' sign, and the @ button can be reached through 'shift' and '2'! Please, ANYONE, can you help?

P.S I have tried the control panel thingy and also the F1/F2 at the start-up, to no avail!

I was playing a game the other night, my comp. froze, there were blue wavy lines on the screen and a "ticking" noise from the speakers. Rebooted. Now, my computer turns on but there's no image on the screen, just blackness. Not even the BIOS info. shows up. Checked monitor, it's fine (brand new). Disconnected & reconnected/reseated all cables, RAM chips, & PCI/video card. Nothing. The computer turns on fine but still no image. It sounds like the hard drive is spinning up just fine. I have an older GeForce4 4600 AGP card (going on 4 yrs. old) What do you think is wrong?

I know that it is like two processors so that you can run two programs on each of the processors, but, how does that translate into speed of each processor. Let me explain, I am looking at purchasing an hp laptop that has a 1.87Ghz Intel Duo processor. I am under the assumption that when playing a game, the game will only be using one processor. So then it should be using half of the 1.87Ghz, assuming that the two cores are split evenly. So now my, one of two, processors is only running @ around .9Ghz. Or do each of the cores run @ 1.87Ghz. Doom 3 requires a minimum 1.5Ghz processor. Is my $2000 laptop unable to play this game due to the split core? Thanks for the answers. btw, if you dont know what you are talking about, like me, then dont answer.
